Cheers for Cheddar!

Join the OWS for an evening of sampling that irresistible combo, wine and cheese. And not just any cheese, but delectable world-renowned fine aged cheddars produced by Balderson Cheese. This event will be hosted by John Nadeau, co-founder of The Wine Establishment and consultant to Ontario's wineries.

The event will pair Balderson’s Extra Old White Cheddar (aged up to 18 months) with a 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Single Vinyard, Queenston Road Vineyard, a 3-Year Old White Cheddar with a 2006 Reserve Merlot, Creekside Estate Winery, and a 6-Year Old Cheddar with 2005 Reserve Meritage, also from Creekside Estates.

Toronto Chapter

Ontario Chardonnay - Seriously Cool

March 24th, 2010

Cool climate VQA Chardonnays from Ontario will be showcased in England when British wine writers gather at Canada House in Trafalgar Square on May 17th to taste 34 of Ontario’s top VQA Chardonnays selected by a group of Ontario wine critics.

This Ontario Wine Society event will be a dress rehearsal for the Canada House tasting.

“Britain is the largest market in the world with a very small domestic wine industry,” notes Bill Redelmeier, owner of Southbrook Vineyards. “The opportunity to showcase Ontario wines in London can provide a real boost for our product. A generation ago, the New Zealand wine industry launched Sauvignon Blanc in Britain, and it put New Zealand wines on the map.”
